A Lease Automatic Custody Transfer unit or LACT unit measures the net volume and quality of liquid hydrocarbons. A LACT unit measures volumes in the range of {{convert|100|to|7000|oilbbl|m3|sigfig=2|lk=on}} of oil per day.(*LACTs can transfer/measure more than 7000 bbls/day) This system provides for the automatic measurement, sampling, and transfer of oil from the lease location into a pipeline. A system of this type is applicable where larger volumes of oil are being produced and must have a pipeline available in which to connect.[http://www.mineralweb.com/oil-and-gas-measurement-a-205.html "How Oil and Gas is Measured"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090712021953/http://www.mineralweb.com/oil-and-gas-measurement-a-205.html |date=2009-07-12 }}, MineralWeb.com.
